c                              entire physical domain along each axis.

c                              (i.e. number of elements in phymin,
c                              phymax)
c        cfn     char  input   constants file name 
c                              ('0' = no constants file).
c        error   int   output  indicates possible errors found in this
c                              routine.
c                              error = 0   no errors detected.

c     Purpose:
c        This routine is called to put a variable and its attributes
c        onto a netCDF file for use with the UWGAP plotting package. 
c        It is assumed that the data is floating-point data. Prior to 
c        calling this routine, the file must be created (crecdf) or
c        opened (opncdf). 
c           Any netCDF file written to must be closed with the call
c        call ncclos(cdfid,error), where cdfid and error are
c        as in the argumentlist below.
c     Arguments:
c        cdfid   int   input   file-identifier

c                              opncdf)
c        ndim    int   input   the number of dimensions (ndim<=4)
c        misdat  real  input   missing data value for the variable. 
c        vardim  int   input   the dimensions of the variable.
c                              is dimensioned at least (ndim). 
c        varmin  real  input   the location in physical space of the
c                              origin of each variable.
c                              is dimensioned at least Min(ndim,3). 
c        varmax  real  input   the extent of each variable in physical
c                              space.
c                              is dimensioned at least Min(ndim,3).  
c        stag    real  input   the grid staggering for each variable.
c                              is dimensioned at least Min(ndim,3).  
c        dat     real  input   data-array dimensioned suffiecently 
c                              large, at least 
c                              vardim(1)* ... vardim(ndim)
c        error   int   output  indicates possible errors found in this
c                              routine.
c                              error = 0   no errors detected.
c                              error = 1   error detected.

c        a call to opncdf (for extension) or crecdf (for creation), the 
c        variable must be defined with a call to putdef.
c     Arguments:
c        cdfid   int   input   file-identifier
c                              (must be obtained by calling routine

c                              allocated and appended to the times-array.

c                              to the NetCDF file. Suppose that the
c                              variable is defined as (nx,ny,nz,nt).

c                                          appending it would yield a non
